After nearly a decade on the air, “The Yolanda Adams Morning Show” was cancelled last month. When it was announced that Campbell was getting a new radio show, many people assumed that Campbell had taken Adams’s spot.
Campbell said that is far from the truth. Reach Media is the company behind both shows.

“[Adams] said transitioned so I will go with that word. She transitioned and now I’m here with the new show,” Campbell explained. “They didn’t just take her name of and put my name on. It’s a different a name. It’s a different show. It’s a different vibe. It’s something new and I’m really excited about that. I pray that I have her blessing.”
Meanwhile, Campbell’s show will play old and new styles of gospel. She is doing this, she said, out of the respect she has for grandmothers, mothers and the kids who all come to her concerts and dance to her music.
“I think there is a way to respect the old and still embrace the new as long as you let the mature fans know we haven’t forgotten about you,” Campbell said. “We won’t just disrespect you. We understand that we have a lot to learn from you.”
